I'm looking at the schedule for the Big 12 Indoor meet this weekend. Here are the running events in order of length:
60m
200m
400m
600y
800m
1000m
mile
3000m
5000m
It seems way too congested between 400m and the 5000m.
Do they really need the 600y and 1000m?
Do they really need the 3000m in addition to the 5000m?
The same reason that they run the mile, tradition.
The 600y has no place in any conference meet. It's only 132 meters further than the 400. If they don't run the 1741 meters then they shouldn't do the 600 yard.
It is so OSU can score more than 20 points.
really 200 is middle distance? 3k and 5k?
Your right should be more races like 10 15 and 20 yard dash.

Your name very accurately describes the state of your mind.
If you actually read his post, he stated that it's too congested between the 400m and 5k.
The 200 is, quite clearly, NOT between the 400m and 5k

600y = 548.64m
548.64m - 400m = 148.64m
Had you done your math correctly, you would have found it to be a worthwhile distance.
